TrustAfrica has called for the creation of a borderless Africa, emphasizing the need for easier movement across the continent to unlock economic opportunities for its citizens.

Ebrima Sall, the Executive Director of TrustAfrica, highlighted that simplifying visa processes is critical to fostering stronger connections among Africans, enabling mobility for work, education, and improved living conditions.

Addressing the 3rd African Social Movement Baraza 2025 in Accra, Sall pointed out the paradox of granting free movement to individuals from industrialized nations while imposing severe restrictions on African citizens.

“We cannot allow people from around the world to move freely within our continent while we continue to face barriers within our own countries. It’s crucial that we create conditions that allow Africans to connect with each other,” he stated.

Sall emphasized that mobility should not be seen as a privilege, but rather as a fundamental right necessary for personal and professional growth. He expressed concern over policies that limit access to opportunities that could significantly improve the lives of ordinary Africans.

The 3rd African Social Movement Baraza, organized by TrustAfrica in partnership with the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDDGhana), brought together social movements, grassroots activists, civil society leaders, creatives, academics, policymakers, and change-makers from across the continent. The gathering focused on discussing and strategizing on key social issues affecting Africans.

This year’s event takes place amid complex challenges facing the continent, such as geopolitical tensions, inequality, and growing marginalization.

Sall also underscored the crucial role of social movements in addressing pressing societal issues, such as poverty, inequality, and human rights. He acknowledged that while social movements have evolved from traditional trade unions to more technology-driven activism, collective action remains vital in driving change.

Vera Abena Addo, Programs Director at CDDGhana, stressed the importance of social movements in advancing democracy in Africa. She noted that while these movements are often short-lived and loosely structured, they are powerful agents of policy change and accountability.

“Social movements complement formal civil society efforts by sparking important conversations and advocating for systemic reforms,” she remarked.

Sall further emphasized the value of recognizing and supporting community movements that emerge in response to policy failures. He argued that, beyond protests, many grassroots initiatives contribute significantly to their communities but often go unnoticed by governments. “Instead of viewing these efforts as dissent, governments should appreciate and support them,” he said.

The discussions at the Baraza reflect a growing awareness of the need for transformative policies that address the root causes of inequality, facilitate mobility, and foster African unity.
